Muller hasn't even formally requested an interview with Trump. All we have seen are rumors that Muller wants to talk to him. If Muller wants to interrogate Trump, go to a judge and get a subpoena! Let the courts decide if he has the authority to interrogate POTUS.
What would be the basis for Mueller and his army of prosecutors to interrogate the president; what is the crime(s)?
You do know all law enforcement departments interview people just for information don't you? He don't have to be a suspect does he? Are you suggesting that he has to have committed a crime in order to be interviewed?
My belief is that had Muller formally requested an interview, Trump would have tweeted it and/or Muller's team would have made an announcement to put pressure on Trump.
So, Russia is still trying to interfere in our election process. The original focus was on that, but it's been lost behind the collusion investigation and Trump's insistence on denying Russia has done anything. We actually need to take this seriously.
Russians already meddling in US midterms, Tillerson says | Fox News
Trump was skeptical of Russian interference before he started his presidency and shortly into it, but he's made no relevant comments thereafter to my knowledge. Maybe he's been briefed otherwise by his daily intelligence.
Let's clear all this Trump-Russia crap...to our knowledge, he's never been under investigation, refer back to what Comey said (not sure about his credibility though, he's been caught in several lies)
It's an ALL THINGS RUSSIA that Mueller can and is investigating, he's got unlimited bounds and parameters. As Trey Gowdy said last night, "Mueller can investigate a bank robbery in Topeka, Kansas if he needs to". This is not about investigating Donald Trump, although that could be a piece of it.
Here's a good Russia Investigation daily/weekly synopsis, although it's from Fox News...you can google other sources.

True, but Starr was able to investigate a totally unrelated issue on Clinton. These folks are given too much latitude, IMO.
Telling Muller to kick rocks wouldn't make him look bad.
Trump wants to talk to Mueller despite lawyers advice | New York Post
A person close to the president told CNN that Trump believes he is innocent ​of colluding with the Russians ​and ​feels confident ​of his vast experience testifying under oath in lawsuits during his time as a real estate developer.
He thinks he can work this, th​e person ​told the cable network​. He doesnt realize how high the stakes are.
Muellers investigators havent yet requested a formal interview, but Trumps lawyers reportedly are negotiating behind the scenes on the scope of the questions and how the president could respond.​
It would be a smart look, I know that's something hard for you to recognize.
